Sulfur-doped TiO(2)/Ti photoelectrodes were prepared by anodization and characterized by SEM, AFM, XRD, XPS, UV-vis and SPS. The results of investigation indicated that S(4+) and S(6+) were dispersed on the surface of TiO(2) nanoparticles. The doping with an appropriate amount of sulfur expanded the response range of TiO(2)/Ti photoelectrodes to visible light, and enhanced the separation of photoinduced electrons from cavities. The photoelectrocatalytic performance test run with sulfur-doped TiO(2)/Ti photoelectrodes under Xenon light indicated that Na(2)SO(3) concentration of 750 mg/L and voltage of 160 V were the optimal conditions for preparation of sulfur-doped TiO(2)/Ti photoelectrodes.

Fluoride ion (F(-)), the smallest anion, exhibits considerable significance in a wide range of environmental and biochemical processes. To address the two fundamental and unsolved issues of current F(-) sensors based on the specific chemical reaction (i.e., the long response time and low sensitivity) and as a part of our ongoing interest in the spiropyran sensor design, we reported here a new F(-) sensing approach that, via assembly of a F(-)-specific silyl-appended spiropyran dye with graphene oxide (GO), allows rapid and sensitive detection of F(-) in aqueous solution. 6-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1',3',3'-trimethylspiro [chromene- 2,2'-indoline] (SPS), a spiropyran-based silylated dye with a unique reaction activity for F(-), was designed and synthesized. The nucleophilic substitution reaction between SPS and F(-) triggers cleavage of the Si-O bond to promote the closed spiropyran to convert to its opened merocyanine form, leading to the color changing from colorless to orange-yellow with good selectivity over other anions. With the aid of GO, the response time of SPS for F(-) was shortened from 180 to 30 min, and the detection limit was lowered more than 1 order of magnitude compared to the free SPS. Furthermore, due to the protective effect of nanomaterials, the SPS/GO nanocomposite can function in a complex biological environment. The SPS/GO nanocomposite was characterized by XPS and AFM, etc., and the mechanism for sensing F(-) was studied by (1)H NMR and ESI-MS. Finally, this SPS/GO nanocomposite was successfully applied to monitoring F(-) in the serum.
